Practical tips in overcoming Chronic Skin Diseases (Dermatitis and Psoriasis)

Practical tips in overcoming Chronic Skin Diseases (Dermatitis and Psoriasis)

Objective 
To provide an understanding of skin problems and how to help yourself overcome them. Psoriasis is Curable and I have awakened from the nightmare. You too do not need to suffer needlessly. Just be open minded. 

What is Psoriasis and Dermatitis?

Dermatitis is a blanket term meaning "inflammation of the skin" (i.e. rashes). Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder which is incurable (according to dermatologist). It may include both dermatitis symptoms (such as rashes and skin inflammations) and psoriasis symptoms (such as areas of white hardened and layered skins).

Many doctors will say that psoriasis is non contagious. Don't believe them. They admit they have no clue on how to cure psoriasis and classify it as incurable. Perhaps if you do not scratch them it will not be contagious. Weeping skins and wounds provide viruses that can cause infection to the areas touched. Sometimes rashes suddenly appeared on my lips, ears and scalp. These rashes are due to unhealthy habit of inadvertently touching the areas after having touched the open wound of dermatitis /psoriasis infected areas (which is not dry especially after scratching). Therefore please wash your hands with soap after touching the affected areas. Dermatitis always work side by side with psoriasis. I used to have just a few tiny rashes on my left leg but within months spread to all over my body like the pictures below. Do not take chance.

We must also help the skin to breathe properly. When the skin is covered and unable to breathe, it become psoriasis. This is described in detail under Personal Care and Hygiene 5) below.

Skin problems can be very stressful and might be the result of a stressful life style. It might look very unsightly and probably even your close friends and family members might avoid you for fear of getting infected. Some of these diseases are contagious. 

Eventually as I exercises more with qigong, do lots of manual laborious work, strengthening my immune system, there was no need for any cure. It just slowly disappeared over 2 years. 

Psoriasis

Skin Inflamation

The above are from nightmares. Even if you get healed, you are constantly reminded by the marking all over your body. Luckilly I do not have any on the face.

   

So you see it is curable but unforgetable.

Here are some advice and tips for psoriasis and dermatitis patients

Having live with skin diseases for more than 30 years (of trials and errors), I possess more information of the disease than most people. I have got myself whack until both my legs were swollen and bruised, acupuncture, herbal, moxibustion, injections, blood tests, urine test, sample tissue test and etc. Both western and traditional medicine did not work for me. At the beginning, I was only using ointment in 15 gm tube. Later I was purchasing the whole jar. I was given 30% discount by the pharmacy. 

Below are some of the things that helped me say goodbye to psoriasis.

 

Acceptance
The first thing when one is diagnose to have psoriasis is to learn to accept the fact. Acceptance is very important since denial will not do you any good or help you in any way. You must accept the fact and see what are your options available to you. Be logical and look through the options. What has happened, is a reality and cannot be changed. Therefore we must do the right thing to help ourselves. You must look at the positive side or else there can be no cure for you.

Reality Check - Do not jump from the frying pan into the fire
Once it has been confirmed that you have a chronic illness, one should have a reality check. You should know what is the worst case scenario and what is your chances of a cure. You must do some deep down reality check. If your illness is not life threatening, do not accept a solution that might make you into a moron with no cure in sight. If you only have chronic skin disorder (psoriasis), why take injections that does not provide a cure but cause you further miseries such as lost of memories, hairs and etc. Be logical. If you do not help yourself, who would? Do not get opinions from people with no experience or knowledge of the disease. Talk to specialists but you must also evaluate them carefully. Be prudent. Do not jump from the frying pan into the fire. Do not listen to everyone as there are a lot of "scavengers" taking advantage of people who are in need of help and in distress. Be on the look out for conman who like to prey on the helpless. There are Qigong "masters" who ask you to pay lots of money to help you get well. These people play with our emotions to try to con us. Then there are others who have no abilities to help us but just want to be "busy bodies". These people instead of helping us, give us more stress and waste our precious time. Even the dermatologist will tell you there is no cure, you must accept the fact. The only thing they can do is to help you control it from getting worse by way of medication. But I am a living proof that a cure is possible. I do not need any medication anymore. It is the cheapest and most effective natural cure.

Change
There is a need to change your lifestyle and mindset to help you in the healing process. As you come to term with your illness, you must recognize that there is a need to adjust your lifestyle and remove any unhealthy habits such as smoking, unhealthy eating habits (eating excessively or hurriedly), unhealthy sleeping habits (not enough rest) and etc. Do not listen to everyone's advice.  Be logical. All food should generally be less sugar,  less salt, less acidic (and more alkaline) and less animal fats. Drink lots of warm water regularly. Do not seek for miracle cures. The only person capable of producing any miracle is yourself. Miracle only happen because you will it to happen. You must have faith in yourself. Think positively. 

 

Exercises / Qigong / Yoga
Any kind of rigorous physical exercises can help. If you incorporate proper breathing into the exercises it would be much better.
It is a known fact that we are constantly stressed by our surroundings and what happen to our lives. We need to do breathing exercises to bring down our stress. Meditation might also help. When you slow down your breathing, automatically your heart also beat more slowly and you are able to become more calm. Look at the way a baby sleep and how the baby breathe. You will notice that the baby belly expand as the baby breathe in and back to normal as he/she exhale. Similarly, in qigong and mind control, you try to relearn what you have forgotten as a child. You try to have deeper  breathing (not just your chest level but down to your belly). This will definitely help those with breathing difficulties. These breathing exercises also help build up your lung and stomach muscles. Regular deep diaphragm breathing qigong exercises does help to strengthen the immune system. With a strengthened immune system, most of my illness disappeared within 2 years.   

 

Personal Care and Hygiene

You must learn to take care of yourself. You must be very disciplined and hygienic. 

1) Please refrain from scratching yourself as the area scratched might become infected. You see scratching will make the area affected become inflamed and the rashes spread to a larger area. Always keep the finger nails short and clean. My advice is to wear cotton gloves so that you would not unconsciously scratch yourself during your sleep. WOUNDS AND WEEPING SKINS ARE CONTAGIOUS. Sleep inside a mosquitoes net to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes bites can cause itchiness and a desire to scratch the affected area. 

Another reason for scratching is due to sweating at the armpit areas, the joint between the upper and lower limbs etc. If do you sweat, please clean yourself with soap and water. Always keep yourself clean and dry. Change your clothing that is dirty or sweaty. Be hygienic. Do not share your towel with others especially if you have opem wound or weeping skin. Viruses and bacterias might be passed on to your loved ones. Make sure you change the towel regularly to ensure you do not inadvertantly spread it to other unaffected areas. You must be very strict on the hygience.

The scratching might bring some temporary relief to the itchiness but would cause injury and inflammation to the sensitive skin encouraging the spread of dermatitis. So if you cannot control the urge to scratch the affected area, you at least keep your finger nails short. You should wear cotton gloves when you go to bed.

If you scratched the affected areas during your sleep you will have problem going back to sleep. The bed sheet would be smeared with blood from the wounds. Then there is the weeping skins. So you need to use iodine to clean the wounds and hopefully get it to dry up. The blood will stop but the wound might still weep (a yellowish liquid). If you cannot stop it, use a plaster with an absorbent (apply some ointment on it) to seal the wound. It was real nightmares for me. After that you might not be able to get to sleep. Wear cotton gloves if you must. Remember do not scratch yourself under any circumstances! 

2) Do not let any injuries/wounds become wet. I remember when I fell from my motor bike more than 30 years ago, when ever the injuries touch water it became very difficult to heal. The areas already dried was about to heal suddenly become soft and itchy. The areas started to weep and soon you see pus. It become infected again. So do avoid water at the area of the wound if you want the wound to heal faster. Do not allow the skin to weep. It can get infected. Wash your hands with soap, if you touch the wounds. 

3) Always keep your finger nails short and clean. This is to prevent you from scratching yourself and getting infected by the dirty nails.

4) For those with sweaty feet, please wear cotton socks and change it everyday. Nylon socks are not suitable because it cannot absorb the sweats from your feet. The sweat will cause some skin on the sole of your feet to peel off and can be the start of the skin problems. You can also apply some powder before you wear the sock.

5) If you sweat, try to wipe off the sweat with a dry towel. You can also use some luke warm water to wash the sweaty areas. Taking a bath is another option. When you sweat, the areas at the joints of the limbs such as the joints of the upper/lower limbs, armpit area and groin area might become itchy. When you start scratching the areas, this can cause inflammation at the areas. Previously, I always have a few heat rashes /inflammations per year where the urge to scratch defy any logic. Eventually the whole areas (as mentioned) would be extremely itchy and red. When you start scratching it would become very unsightly and difficult to control. Alway keep inflamed area dry and cool. Calamine lotions can cool down the inflamed areas but not 100% effective. The cooling St Luke's Pricky Heat Powder (also known as Snake powder) is less effective alternative. The idea is to keep all inflamed skin cool and dry.

6) Those hardened white skin on psoriasis patients make it difficult for their skin to breathe. So whenever you are free, use a sharp blade to slowly and softly scrape off as much of the hardened skin as possible. Be careful not to cut yourself. With practiced, you will learn to identify the type of skin that can and cannot be scrapped. You can also apply olive oil and other healing oil to soften the skin. If you managed to get the area cleared of dead skin, small hairs will slowly grow out  and your skin will be able to breathe again. Very soon it will look almost normal again except for some discoloring. I discovered this through trials and errors.

 

 

Medication

1) You must be careful of eating too much of the little yellow brown pills (to prevent itchiness and let you sleep better). Doctors and Skin Specialist like to prescribe the pill so that you would not scratch yourself while sleeping. It might not work for you. If your mind is focus on something, you might not be able to sleep. It could also probably be due to scratching during your sleep. See Personal Care and Hygiene 1) above. You might probably fall asleep while driving to work. I was involved in several car accidents (I drove into the car in front of mine).

2) Continuous usage of antibiotics and steroids may cause thinning of the skins and psoriasis. You can depend on ointment such as Dermovate recommended by many doctors but it was ineffective for me. The skin specialist claimed it was the strongest. I have better luck with Diprocel and Diprosalic ointment. Diprosalic contains salic acid which may help to break through the hardened skins. Ointment is more effective than cream as it is more oily. If you have not use it before perhaps it might help you recover from your problem. Prolong usage is not advisable. Apply ointment thinly and uniformly over affected areas.

3) Some Chinese Medicine for removal of toxin in the blood might also help. You can get it in tablets of 30 pills. Some are quite effective against body heat and toxin in the blood which causes inflammation of the skins.

4) Do not use any oil on the areas affected by dermatitis (rashes and inflammation of the skin). As the areas are inflamed, you need to cold it down. Olive Oil or other oil will not be suitable. You need something cooling. The most important thing is your skin must be able to breathe. If your skin cannot breathe, you will feel itchy and thus the need to scratch. I rather let my skin be dry but not cracked. You need the oil or lotion only when it is too dry not otherwise.

 

Proper Nutrition

1) Eat a balanced meal. If you eat very little and blame it on the appetite, you are looking for trouble. Eating too much will also be bad for your health. Eating vegetarian food alone does not guarantee you would be cured. I actually took vegetarian food for more than 1 year without any noticeable changes. If your body do not get enough nutrients how can your immune system be strong. All food should generally be less sugar,  less salt, less acidic (and more alkaline) and less animal fats. You cannot expect to be healthy when you eat excessively or unhealthily. Please eat slowly and digest your food properly. No junk food or untested products.

2) You need to drink lots of hot to warm water to help release the toxin either through your kidney (urine) or through your sweats.

 

Proper Rest 

1) All of us need to sleep properly in order for us to become healthy. We should preferably be able to sleep for at least 8 hours. Sleeping allows your immune system to take over the healing process. If you do not sleep well, you will be unhealthy. Bruce Lee did not have sufficient rest and took pain killers. He went into a coma and died.

2) Worries and stressful life style can make your psoriasis get worse. Look at the positive side. Read more motivational books or articles. You can click on to our Chi Dynamics Cheras website at www.chidynamic.netai.net/motivation. Remember what is past is long gone and cannot be changed. What you can change is now and the future. Be logical.

Conclusion

Empower yourself to become healthier through the above proven methods. Psoriasis is curable and I am the proof. There are lots of visible markings on my limbs and body as proof that at one time or another were affected by dermatitis and psoriasis. You do it step by step, making your immune system stronger day by day. There is a need to change your lifestyle and mindset to help you in the healing process. As you come to term with your illness, you must recognize that there is a need to adjust your lifestyle and remove any unhealthy habits such as smoking, unhealthy eating habits (eating excessively or hurriedly), unhealthy sleeping habits (not enough rest) and etc. Do not listen to everyone's advices.  Be logical. All food should generally be less sugar,  less salt, less acidic (and more alkaline) and less animal fats. Drink lots of warm water regularly. Please try not to scratch the affected area under any circumstances. After touching any affected areas do wash your hands to avoid spreading it to other people or other parts of your body. Do proper Qigong breathing exercises daily. Do not seek for miracle cures. The only person capable of producing any miracle is yourself. Miracle only happen because you will it to happen. You must have faith in yourself. Read more motivation books and articles. Take care.

Self Healing - Psoriasis (Chronic Skin Disorder) and other illnesses Part 2

Self Healing - Psoriasis (Chronic Skin Disorder) and other illnesses Part 2



In the earlier article, Self Healing, I have included 2 photos of my legs recovering from dermatitis induced psoriasis which according to my skin specialist  was incurable. I have spend a fortune trying to get healed. My mother even bring me to see traditional herbal healers in the remote villages/areas where some well known physicians operate from.


As I did not take any picture of myself  when I was having dermatitis induced psoriasis, I look through the internet for pictures which resemble my conditions then. At least the reader will be able to feel my helplessness and how stressful it was.


I used to have inflamed rashes all over my body especially my back, limbs and buttock. I was applying ointment all over my body several times a day beside popping up pills trying to control the dermatitis similar to the one on the left (except for the flab). I regularly visited the company clinic but they were of no help. The doctor wrote a note and asked me to give it to the dermatologist at University Hospital, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia in 1986. I was at first only using diprocel ointment (of 15 mg tube) as recommended by the dermatologist. I was given a note from the dermatologist to the doctor at the company's clinic. In view of the cost of the oilment I would require, my company notified me that they will not pay for any future medical bill. I was forced to try out the big jar biprosalic by a local company. I was offered 30% discount by the pharmacy. It cut down my ointment cost by 60%. It was extremely stressful and I was living in a nightmare. I had seen all types of doctors and physician whether traditional or modern to no avail.

I had to wear long sleeve and long pant everywhere I go. Even when I stayed at my family house for vacation, I would wear long sleeves and pant so that I do not get stared at and asked questions I could not answer. I was quite close to my nieces who little kids then. When they started to get rashes, I felt guilty. It might probably be from me as no one else has it. Why me?

As the years passes by the steroid become less effective. The dermatitis suddenly got worst. I went to see a skin specialist in Cheras, Malaysia. After several visits and treatments, some sample tissue were cut from my buttock (which would resemble the picture on the right). The laboratory report stated that I had dermatitis induced psoriasis. The white colored skins are actually hardened skins which prevent the skin from breathing properly. In some cases, the skin grew on top of another layer of skin. As the hair cannot grow and is trapped beneath the skin, the area can become itchy and there is always a tendency to scratch them. You might be able to prevent yourself from scratching while you are conscious /awake. When you are asleep you might just scratch at those infected areas. It felt so very nice until you suddenly realized what you have just done. By then your bed sheet would be covered with blood and dead skins. The nice feeling has suddenly turned into a nightmare. Now you have to treat your wound to stop the bleeding. Next you have to stop the weeping skin from oozing out a transparent yellowish liquid. After that you can hardly go back to sleep. It was a living hell. 

Those pills the specialist gave to control the itchiness did not work for me. It make me drowsy in the morning and was the cause of two cars accidents. In the first accident, I rammed into a slow moving car. The second time I was too drowsy to brake in time as I ram into another at the traffic light. Luckily no one was injured.


In part 1, I have shown you the almost healed pictures below. This is of course very much better than those pictures above. While these are still considered ugly but is no longer even 10% as stressful as the above pictures. If you continue to scrape these flakely skin with a sharp knife, you will slowly get it healed within months to what is below.












Notice the difference between the top photos and the bottom photos. The colored areas represent the newly healed areas. The white spots are also healed but that is the scars left from the dermatitis induced psoriasis. There is no need for medication of any kind. Notice the growth of new hairs on the legs. This allows the skin to breathe. So who say psoriasis is incurable? It is curable. Psoriasis is curable.














Remember there is no cure for acute skin problems in western medical science giving the excuse that they do not know what you are allergic to. There can be so many causes and etc. They even asked me to take injections to control it from getting worse (not a cure). With western medicine you must also expect some side effects such as loss of memories, hairs and etc. Therefore before they do anything to you, you must sign on the dotted line that you agreed to their terms of treatment (that you understand exactly there is no hope of recovery and the side effects of loss of memories and etc). Control means trying to stop it from becoming worst. So what exactly is the point of all these is to get you to become a moron/idiot who forget everything after paying so much money.


So definitely I wouldn't want to try the injection. How can a finance and administration manager function without his memories? Surely there must other alternatives. If you can build up your immune system by way of qigong, it will definitely help you

From the above pictures you can see almost all over my body were affected by either dermatitis or/and psoriasis. There is still lots of markings to remind me of my worst nightmares.



See my article Practical tips in overcoming Chronic Skin Diseases (Dermatitis and Psoriasis)


All along I had practice meditation and had no problem playing with energies. But somehow I had to admit something was not right with me. It is like you have a substation in a residential housing area but all the houses were without electricity. My chakras were activated yet I had all kinds of problems from psoriasis, sinus, cold limbs, migraine and a host of other problems.


I always had doubts on Qigong. What is so special about breathing techniques? Don't we breathe all the time? How can just mere breathing have any effect? 


My Fung Shui master recommend me to take some short courses conducted by his Qigong master (who is residing in Australia) to strengthen my qi. I had always been proud of my years in Yoga meditation and thought the master would noticed it. I had always thought that I had very powerful energies. All the master said was that I was in very bad shape (from looking at my energies). I did not even bother to let him know about my problems. About six months later when I attended the 2nd level, he told me I had made lot of progress and look so much better and had very strong qi. By then I was already attending  weekly Chi Dynamics qigong classes at Cheras. I could feel my energy level going up as I made progress in qigong. Most of my problems either ceased to exist or were on the way to recovery. It took me about 2-3 years of dedicated daily qigong training to totally overcame psoriasis.


I have no qualm in recommending Chi Dynamics qigong to whoever willing to give it a real try. The breathing methods is very important. A Tai Chi or Qigong practitioner might have practiced for more than 20 years but their qi abilities are just normal because they do not know how to relax, focus, visualize and use qi. 


Qigong works on the internal organs and your immune systems making you healthier and less stressful. When qi is able to get to the affected areas it means the blocked areas has been cleared enabling your blood and qi to move unobstructed. It also helps to strengthen your immune system. When we have chronic illness, our immune system is at it weakest. For instance a cancer patient is more likely to be killed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy than by the cancer cells. The chemotherapy kills all cells (irregardless). This will make the already weak immune system even weaker. A mild illness can easily kill anyone under such condition. Many people can get through chemotherapy with the aid of qigong. I still have lots of markings on my body and limbs as testimony of my past (see pictures above).

Self Healing

Self Healing with Chi Kung and Meditation

How I heal myself of sweaty palms, feet, incurable skin disease (dermatitis and psoriasis), sinus and a host of other health problems.

Since childhood, I have always had delicate health problems. Whenever I became nervous, I would sweat a lot at both my palms and feet making them easy targets for skin problems (which surfaced on my fingers when I was 17 years old). I had no control over my nervousness. My nose was so sensitive that washing my face can cause running nose for several hours (especially in the morning). Even a sneeze could start my running nose. I was easily stressed up and had all kind headache. I decided about 30 years ago that I would not want to use panaldo or aspirin for relief of headache.
I only took up sporting activities after I left high school. I took up Tae Kwon Do when I was 18 years old. It did not help my skin problems or my sensitive nose. I look for all types of medicines (both traditional and western) but to no avail. I took up meditation courses and Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) in 1985. By 1986, I had completed the Master Course for SKY conducted by by the late founder of SKY, Swamiji Maharishi from India.
I now found myself saddled with another problem which I was not able to handle. The Master had left and now we had to train on our own in Malaysia. I was not able to control the strong energy rising up to my head (crown and third eye chakras). I had nose bleeding and fever most of the time for about two years. That is the power of Kundalini Shakti. I managed to get the help of a Buddhist/Taoist master. It was during this time that I started having skin problems at my legs. Prior to 1985 I only have the skin problems on my hands. I was a disciple of the temple for 7 years. Still most of my problems remain intact.
My family members would ask me to see all types of traditional healers which I duly oblige. I even see skin specialists until my boss blocked this medical benefit. 

 dermatitis  patient                                                           buttock with Psoriasis

I went to a skin specialist belonging to a colleague's sister in Cheras, Malaysia. Samples of my tissues were cut from my buttock (see photos above) and taken to the laboratory for studies. The laboratory's report stated that I had Dermatitis induced Psoriasis. Dermatitis is a general term for all skin problem (skin inflamation and rashes). Psoriasis is a severe skin disorder where several layers of skin cells are formed on top of each other. Severe skin problems can be attributed to stress, allergies and a host of other problems making them difficult to cure. Western doctors will try you on all types of antibiotic and steroids. The doctor told me to be rational and accept the fact that there is no cure for the disease. I was told there was only one drug available to control the problem. Please note that control means not to let it get worse. It is not a cure and it had several side effects such as loss of memory and loss of hair. I would have to sign a paper accepting the conditions before they inject the drug into me. As a Finance & Administration Manager of a four star business class hotel, it would be impossible for me to work with a loss of memory. It could be very costly to the hotel since I was involved in every aspects of the hotel 's financial operations. I provided solutions to their every problems especially on matters pertaining to the financial aspects. I had to find an alternative cure or I have to move on.  Loss of memory was something I would not accept. Why make yourself into a moron with no cure in sight. The worst come to the worst I would only be inconvenienced by the psoriasis. It is a nightmare but it is not life threatening.  Be logical, there is no point jumping from the frying pan into the fire. 

Back to my nose problem, I was told that the nasal holes were too small for my nose. I might need a minor operation to solve my sinus problem.
That was about 8 years ago.

About 3 years ago my Fung Shui master recommend me to take up Chi Kung to increase my chi level. Since then I have taken two courses (Five Element Palms (Wu Xing Chang) and Five Element Gentle Mind Hands (Wu Xing Rou Yi Sou). The courses were on hard and soft chi kung and how to use yi (mental power). I also enroll myself for weekly Chi Kung classes.

Due to more than 20 years in various meditations, I have accumulated quite some chi. Learning Chi Kung accelerate this accumulation. Before learning Chi Kung my hands were normally cold (more yin chi). After starting Chi Kung for about 1 year, I discover that I no longer have nose problem, sweaty palms, feet and etc. My dermatitis on my hands have all been healed. My legs can now be considered 98% healed of all skin problems. I did not take any drug. I do however supplement it with some Chinese herbal pills for blood disorder. My nose is no longer afraid of water. I can wash my face without getting any running nose.
My hands are warm and glowing. The perfect hands for a healer.

The following are some of my self healing methods which might be helpful to those who have the basic to understand them :
a) Nose / Lung problem
Do lots of breathing exercises. Joining a chi kung class will be good. Focus on your lung (middle of chest or heart chakra) with the centre of your palms (Lao Gung) facing your lung. Notice the glow and warmth in your lung. Do this for half an hour everyday and feel the difference. Regular exercising of the lung can help strengthen your lung and this will in turn help in your nasal problem. They are interrelated. You can also focus on the tip of your nose or alternate between your lung and nose. There are several ways of strengthening your lungs. You can breathe in through your nose. Hold your breath for 10 seconds and breathe out through your mouth, forcing all the air out from your lung. Try doing this for about half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night. You can also do like the Yogis do by inhaling through the nose. Place your left thumb over your left nasal hole and forcefully blow it out the air through your right nasal hole. Repeat the same procedure with your right thumb over your right nasal hole. Doing this for 10 minutes each day would be very good for your lung. At first you might have phlegm and running nose blocking your air passage. If you manage to forcefully expel them from your system you will be able to breathe in fresher air. Do feel free to contact me if you require further information.


b) Skin Problem












The above are proof of my skin conditions which are almost healed. It will probably take another two months before total healing can be achieved. However some markings from previous use of medicines such as antibiotics / steroids and etc will still be apparent. It will not be as ugly as the above once the normal skin is formed. Currently the affected areas are only a third of the above. I will up date the photos in about 1 month time.

Take two blood cleaning pill once in the morning and once at night. Avoid too much water at the affected areas. Some skin ointment might also help. Over reliance on antibiotic / steroids will have side effects. The reason for clearing the dead skin is to allow new hair growth and allow the skin to breathe. Psoriasis normally involved several layers of skin. It is when the skin try to breathe and is covered by another layer of flesh and hardened skin that brings a lot of inherent skin problems. When you scratched the affected area, it will become inflamed and bleeding will occur. If your finger nails are dirty, the affected areas can be infected. Sometimes weeping skins can occur. Weeping skin is a condition where the skin is injured and some liquid cannot stop flowing out.
Focus your chi on the affected areas. Run your palms above the affected areas. Always keep the affected area dry but soft. the use of some oil on the affected areas to prevent it from getting too dry and cracked. Joining a chi kung class will definitely help. Remove dead skin (by scraping them with a sharp blade (be careful to ensure no damage to the affected areas). Always ensure you do not keep long dirty fingernails. If a certain part is itchy, do no not scratch it or the area will become infected, inflamed and bleeding. It will become more difficult to heal. If you require more information do call me or write to me.

C) Sweaty palms and Legs
Always wear cotton socks to ensure your feet are dry. You can also use talcum powder to ensure your feet are dry. If your feet are wet and sweaty you might get broken skin under your feet. So no plastic socks please. This can cause skin irritation at your feet. Exercise your feet and palms regularly. Chi Kung exercises will be most suitable for palms and feet.

As for sweaty legs, you need to do the exercises bare footed for faster result. Chi Kung exercises will definitely help especially when you are standing in a chi kung stance. You can also massage your feet. Acupressure is an ancient healing method where you press your toes one by one. Then slowly move downward beneath the toes and the areas. beneath. Next you move to the middle of your feet and press them. If there is a pain at any area means you might be having problems at certain area. Next you can move downward to your heels. Then you press the side of your legs. The toes represent the head area. The area beneath the toes represent your shoulders. The middle of your feet is your stomach. Your heel area is your leg.
Of course not everyone have the patience to learn Chi Kung and want faster result. This can only happen if you are lucky enough to meet someone who have lots of chi due to lots of training and know how to use it for healing.

Some people are con men and take advantage of those in need most of help and compassion. The famous Cakra Alam case where the master uses egg to roll over the body of the patient and then break it open to show the patient blood in the egg. The reality is that the egg has been injected with colour dye to trick the patient. Then there is the lighting up of a long fluorescent lamp with his "energy". The trick was a slipper with a switch underneath. When the switch is on the electricity pass through his body to light up the lamp. These are are magic tricks as exposed by Randi a magician. These people are not only wasting the patients' precious time (some do not have much time to live) but also stealing from the desperate. It is unethical and unscrupulous. People with fatal illness should be careful of such con people (parasites). I remember I met a Master Wong (at his free Chi Kung Preview) and told him about my skin condition was incurable. His eyes lighted up when he heard the word incurable and ask me to see him at his office to discuss the matter further. I heard from my chi kung instructor that Master Wong would ask his clients to sign contracts with him. Should anyone get healed they will have to give half of their properties to him or a very big sum of money. Be careful as this world is full of con people who are after the very desperate. If they are more keen on your money than helping you please look elsewhere. Talk with experts and find your options. There are of course people who quietly healed others.

Healings - Frequently Asked Questions

I am a part time Tuina / Acupressure / Qigong therapist cum instructor, blogger, Youtube partner and etc. Should you require any help please feel free to contact me.

I wish to stress that while I do possess some special healing abilities, I am neither a doctor nor God. I can heal lots of illness that a doctor/ medical specialist claimed incurable. Similarly the doctor can operate on patients which I definitely have not and would not try. 

What I do is not magic but based on five thousands of years of trials and errors (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Most people does not realize that Edison in making the simple light bulb had 10,000 trials and errors (10,000 ways that does not work). Lot of people get the wrong ideas about TCM thinking it is some witch doctor stuffs. Evidently, I have cured people from overseas as well as locals. 

When I was growing up (around 15 years old), whenever I feel weak or lethagic, I would do all kind of exercises just to make myself sweat. Strangely enough, when I started to sweat, the illness disappeared and I was back to normal. As I learn more about healings, TCM and etc, I realize that my trials and errors make me analyze each situation more thoroughly and learn from mistakes.


Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between Western medicine and Eastern medicine?
Answer :
Western medicine treats illness from physical evidence of symptoms. For instance, if you have fever, then the medicine will be panadol and etc. It seldom look at the source of the problem. Eastern medicine look at the source as they were around for thousands of years. Using the same example, the Chinese or Indian physician would find the source of the problem to be unwittingly absorbing the sunlight (Yang Chi/ Bio-magnetism). The remedy is to decrease the Yang Chi by the use of massage with herbal oil, acupuncture, acupressure, herbal remedy or a combination of the above. The point is as long as the person sweats the fever will be gone (even if you do not use any medicine). When you sweat the heat is released causing the fever to go down. Therefore drinking lots of warm water will definitely help. 



2) What is Chi ?
Answer :
To the person in the East, the concept of chi /prana / life force/ bio-magnetism is nothing new as it has been in existence for thousands of years. These kind of things can make a western minded person nervous (unless he/she learn and experience it). Normal people cannot see or feel energy, as clearly as those who have undergone the necessary training or those who are born with the ability. If we have never heard of ABC how the hell would we be able to read or write in English. Similarly, if our mind have never being conditioned, we would not be able to perform any kind of visualization or meditation. Some people give the impression that such things are sacred and mysterious. If magician do not practice their hands regularly, their acts would easily being seen through by the audiences. If we do not practice the mind, the mind will not be able to respond to our instruction. 

Chi is the Chinese term loosely used for all kind of energy and breath. Prana is the Indian word for life force or energy. Bio-magnetism is used by Simplified Kundalini Yoga as similar to chi in many aspects. Basically they refer to the same thing. Chi is in abundant everywhere around and inside us. For instance we breathe in Chi all the time without even realizing it. It is in everything (anything living and dead). The walls of our bedroom absorb the chi from sunlight and they have chi in it even though it is not a living thing. Even corpses while decaying have chi in it. When we walk in the hot sun, the energy from the sun is automatically absorbed by our body. We have no control over it unless we can bar the absorption of chi. Masters highly skilled in chi might be able to feel the influx of negative chi but to shut oneself from the chi requires a higher degree of Chi manipulation/ competency. Similarly, if we mingle in a crowd, our chi will mingle and we absorbed each others’ chi. In winter or in cold weather, we automatically absorb Yin Chi. We needs Chi to survive. The generally held belief is that the more Chi one has, the more powerful one becomes. Many people would ask me to donate Chi to them. I would always reply that I can give them Chi but they might not be able to cope with it. Each of us have our equilibrium and optimum Chi level, above or below which, we might become unwell. Too much or too little Chi will make us become sick. Those familiar with Kundalini Yoga will know the ascent of the imaginary serpent from the base of the spine to the crown chakra can be far more dangerous (for certain people)than is revealed. I had nose bleeding and fever for several years despite taking young coconut water and Chinese herbal medicine (Wong lo Kat) every day.

3) What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Answer:
Chinese medicine has been in existence for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the Viscera a general term for the internal organs (zhang fu). There are five yin viscera (zhang) and six yang viscera (fu). The five yin viscera are heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney. The six yang viscera are gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and triple warmer. The viscera are linked by meridian points (nadi for Indian) to help the body function. The Five Yin Viscera main characteristics are to generate and store chi. The Six Yang Viscera main characteristics are to receive and transport food and waste.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of healing based on Viscera incorporating the Five Element theory, Yin and Yang theory and the concept of Chi. In so doing we build up our immune system and become less prone to illness. 

4) Why do people get ill?
Answer:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person’s Chi of both yin and yang must be in equilibrium in order for him or her to stay healthy. If a person has too much Yang Chi (heat), he/she is short of Yin Chi (such as when a person has fever). The opposite can also happen (such as when a person got cold). At times, our body releases too much yang chi, could not sustain it, causing the fever to change into a cold and vice versa. At certain time our body produce certain type of chi and therefore affects our health when the chi is not in equilibrium. For instance, you might feel totally healthy in the morning and take a walk in the blazing sun. All of a sudden you feel heated up and have a headache. The reason is that you have unwittingly absorbed too much yang chi from the sun. The chi moves to the head causing headache and fever. You need to release the excess chi or you will fall ill. Similarly when a person is overcome by emotions when visiting the graves of a loved one, the environment on a say raining day can cause us to fall sick due to too much Yin Chi.

5) What are the kind of illness you can heal?
Answer:
I have the ability to heal all kind of illness, many of which the western medicine does not have a cure. Many were on pain killers before before they were treated by me. Most of them are free from pain killers.

The following are some of the illness which I have no problem healing:
a) Not enough chi
Some people do not take care of their body especially when engaging in sex. Strenuous sex can cause either person to lose too much vital fluid. I have cured an Indian man in his mid twenties who was a friend of my house mate in 1987. He wore 4 layers of clothing and yet he was still shivering. His whole body was cold.

b) Too much chi
Some people think having the more Chi the better you are. People take lots of Ginsengs and exotic meats will have lots of Chi. A sudden surge of Chi is not good. Everyone have his/her own optimum Chi level above or below which he/she might become ill. Similarly if you walk in the hot sun you will absorb lot of Chi from it causing you to feel unwell. Of course if you are very weak on Yang Chi, some sunlight, ginseng and etc might actually be good for you. 

c) Headache and migraine
The Chi rushed to the head causing headache and migraine due to stress, environmentally absorbed chi and etc. It is common everyday happening. You absorbed the sunlight from the sun. This can caused you to have a fever or headache. Similarly you can a flu or cold due to the chilling temperature.

d)  Blocked chi or blood circulation causing pain and unable to move affected areas
Frequently we cannot move a certain part of our body due to injury whether knowingly or unknowingly. The area become bruised and the blood and chi cannot pass through. It is not paralyzed just blocked circulation. Once the circulations have become smooth, the part of the body become normal again. My former Chairman from Ipoh complained that he cannot lift his hand high. After an hour of massaging the hands, triple warmer, shoulder and the meridian points involved, he was able to lift his hand highly again. In another case a fellow Chi Kung student told me her mother could not sleep for 3 nights and seek my help. She did not know why or how her shoulder suddenly has a swelling which was painful on even a slight touch. Earlier that day she had even gone to a medical clinic for treatment without any success. I massage her hands, triple warmer and the back of her shoulders and the meridian points involved. I did not touch the swelling until I have managed to get her blood and Chi circulation moving correctly. After that she does not feel much pain as the swelling also receded. On further probing I was able to pinpoint her problem as sleeping on that particular side of the shoulder. The blood and Chi get blocked causing the swelling and pain. No wonder she could not sleep. Of course there are people who met with an accident and have problem using either or both limbs. Sometime it is more psychological than the actual situation. For instance, if a person has lost the will power and is really down, he or she will not bother to exercise and therefore resulting in the limbs getting weaker. No amount of healing will make him or her healed in such situation. The onus is on the person to bravely face life and start living again.

e)   Cold
Too much Yin Chi (Cold Chi) and lack of Yang Chi (Hot Chi). When a person get a cold it is almost certain that she would need to get more Yang Chi to offset the Yin Chi. Here we need to reduce the Yin Chi and increase the Yang Chi to get back to the equilibrium point. In the earlier example in (a) above, once the Yang Chi move in, the person does not require to wear four layers of clothing. The heat returns to the body.

f)    Fever
Too much Yang Chi (Hot Chi) and lack of Yin Chi (Cold Chi). Similarly, when there is too much Yang Chi we will need to increase the Yin Chi and reduce the Yang Chi. If we stand in the sun for awhile, we might unknowingly absorbed Yang Chi from the sun. With the Chi around your head, it would be reasonable to expect you to feel unwell.

g) Backache
Caused by using or bending the back such as lifting up things too high or heavy and etc. A used car dealer neighbor claimed he was paying a Chinese Healer RM5,000.00 to learn healing and hypnotism. This person has some serious back problem which I have successfully healed several weeks earlier. He picked up another back problem while holidaying with his family. He seek treatment from his master that operate a massage clinic. However, he was bed bound and unable to move after the treatment. He asked a neighbor to locate me. He was asking if someone could shoot him dead as the pain was unbearable to him. After about 2 hours of treatment he was able to turn around without pain.

h)  Sprained limbs
Over use of certain part of the limbs. Sometimes when we lift heavy objects we strained our limbs. It is also possible to sprained it while walking. For instance, an employee of mine sprained his ankle while doing some work. The next day he complained that it was painful and bruised. There was also swelling around the ankle. I took about half an hour to treat him providing almost instant relief. The swelling took a day to go down.

i)    Ear ringing
Too much Chi in the ear causing the hearing of sounds. Most of us can hear some sound when it is quiet at night. Some people will think other people are placing spells on them. Here we can release the energy at the head and ears (including the meridian points around them) to decrease the sound. Otherwise it is a normal phenomenal and if we leave it alone the sound will go off by itself. I have successfully cured many patient with this problem with just one to three treatments. Tinnitus is incurable according to doctors. The doctors can only prescribe pain killers so that you can sleep. 

j)  Problems arising from meditation
When the chakras (energy centre) are activated, some people have all kinds of reactions. There are people who become unstable as a result. Those who learn kundalini yoga and get the dormant serpent coiled at the base of the spine activated will be able to feel a surge of energy going to the crown chakra. In extreme cases, he/she lost the ability to control the energy resulting in migraine, nose bleeding and high fever. If want to know more on meditation problems, please click here.

k)  Cold limbs
This can be together with back pain or on its own. I was talking to a client in his office. Suddenly he stand up and started flicking his hands vigorously and holding his back in pain. I actually gave him the address of one master nearby. One of his staff asked me if I could do something for her boss. I just ask the client to lie down on a bench and do some qi massage at his backs, fingers, hands, shoulders and head. I also warm up his hands with my chi. Within 10 minutes he was healed.      

l)  Lung problems
This will be where people have difficulty in breathing properly. Many time people will say they have a heart problem. The heart is actually on the left hand side. Sometimes the energy is circulating at the heart chakra (which encompassed the lung and the heart). There is a need to reduce the energy here. For those with sinus the heart chakra is one of the areas we need to heal. Similarly those with asthma will also need to concentrate on the heart chakra and learn chi kung breathings to heal themselves. Of course a person with lots of chi will be able help accelerate the process.

m) General well being
The general well being of a person is at optimum when the chi is balanced at the equilibrium. Most people are either having too much chi or not enough of the right chi. There is a need to tone down the excessive and replenish the exhausted chi. We all have Yin (negative) Chi and Yang (positive) Chi. These Chi need to be in equilibrium.

n) No strength in limbs or any part of the body
This is due to lack of muscle or chi or both. There are people with muscle dysentery where the will to walk can lead them to walk again despite the actual lacking in muscles. This will to walk has build up the chi to provide the strength to walk. Here we are normally dealing with the weak or elderly helping them to increase their chi level. However there are people with psychological problems who somehow lose the will to move and like to sleep or lie down most of the time. Some stoke victims might also like to lie down due to semi paralysis (where one part of the body either left or right side cannot move properly). Therefore the muscles get weaker and weaker resulting in them unable to lift the hand or/and walk properly. This is due to the weak muscles and not due to blockage of chi and blood. I am confident if the person make use of his/her muscles regularly and systematically, the strength will eventually come back. For stroke victims, a lot of rehabilitation is required. 

o) No appetite
People complain of lost of appetite and feeling unwell all the time. The real problem is actually quite simple, the chi is not in equilibrium. One of my fellow student said that she only took fruits for one whole week as she lost appetite on food after a bout of illness. Within 10 minutes of fine tuning, she started to eat like normal.

p) Others
There are all kind of different illness not identified here which I might be able to heal. Among them are arthritis, rheumatism and etc. These illness need the performance of certain chi kung exercises to strengthen the body and limbs. For instance, before I learn Chi kung, I had cold and sweaty limbs. Every time I washed my face, I would have running nose for at least 15 minutes. After learning Chi Kung, I do not have cold and sweaty limbs anymore. I do not have problem with washing my face anymore. Not everyone learning Chi Kung will be able get cured in months since everyone chi level and abilities are different. Some might never be cured unless someone with a high level of chi were to treat him or her. For illness like high blood pressure, low blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and similar illness, there is a need to look into daily exercises and food intake. If you keep eating unhealthy food and seldom exercise, your chances of an early death is heighten. Therefore we must take care of ourselves.

6) How can you tell when a person is deficient in either yang or yin chi?
Answer:
From the look at a person's face, we can normally tell whether the person is ill or not. We can also tell whether the person have enough rest. If a person have dark rings around his eyes like a panda, the person certainly do not have enough rest for sometime. To some people it can also mean he is involved in strenuous sex (but not necessary for me). If the face is pale and grey, then he is having too much yin chi and probably exhausted. If a person's face is reddish in colour, he is having too much yang chi rising to his head causing headache and fever. The head should not be cold or hot on touch. The skin should not be too red or dark in colour (in comparison with the normal skin colour). Person with too much Chi do not look well and beside I can actually see the chi coming out from any person.

7) What can we do when we have too much Chi or too little Chi?
Answer:
If you have too much Chi, there is a need to release the excess Chi. You can try young coconut water, herbal tea such as wong lo kat (not the can drink), lots of hot water and etc. Of course you can seek treatment from people like myself who can reduce your chi in minutes.
If you do not have enough Chi, you will need to increase your Chi by consuming products like Korean Ginseng, Chinese Ginseng and etc. You can also see a Chi Healer like myself who have the excess Chi to increase the Chi level which is of course the faster cure. You can also enroll in a chi kung, tai chi , yoga and etc course and slowly increase your chi level.

8) Do we need to strip to do treatment at a certain sensitive area ?
Answer:
I will only touch the areas you allow me to. Generally you do not need to even open a single button of your shirt. As I am using chi to treat you, it really does not matter whether you take off your clothes or not. In most case I am the one to insist the patient remain fully clothed. In the East, many people are still shy when taking off their clothes in front of a stranger especially a person from the opposite sex. I know of ladies who rather suffer the pains of block chi and blood circulation than to seek treatment as the area include the chest. I can heal such people if they allow me to. I do not need to touch their chest or even open one single button of their shirt. All I need is my chi directed at the back of the shoulders. Of course it will take more time but I am confident, after several treatment, the woman would be much better than before (depending on the seriousness of each case). You do not need to show me your chest or any sensitive area as I can heal you with my chi and the areas directly opposite.
Chi is an energy that is like electricity which most normal people cannot see. Chi can be directed via the hands and mind (through the eyes). Theoretically a person can be healed from a distance provided the healer's chi is strong enough. It is almost the same as when a witch doctor or bomoh is trying to harm an unsuspecting person from a distance. With my mind and eyes focus on a lizard about 7 meters away, I can chase the lizard away from my office, my sister's and parent's house without making any movement. Many people have witnessed how the lizard move in tandem with my chi and disappeared. The strange thing is that the lizards never show up again when I am around. My chi can also make a car mechanic sweat profusely without the need to touch him. Whether it is male or female, as long as you do not wish to be touched at certain sensitive areas, I will give you my assurance that I can heal you without the need to touch any areas sensitive to you. It might however take a little bit longer to heal.

9) What medicine or solutions do you use in your massage?
Answer:
Nothing but pure Chi only. I do not use any massage oil, medicated oil and etc. because I feel my chi alone is enough. Previously I used to apply medicated oil on my patients because my chi was not strong enough. Now I do not need to use anything other than a glass of warm water and my Chi.

10) How long does a normal treatment takes?
Answer:
A normal treatment will take two hour to complete. This include massage from head to limbs. This is for the general well being. Specific healing depend on the nature of the problem. If your problem is only your back, a 15 minutes back massage will do the trick. If you have a serious back problem and is bed ridden it might take more time probably one or two hours. Everything depends on the nature and seriousness of the problem. In most cases only one treatment is required to solve the problem. However in really serious cases, more treatments might be required.

11) What is the difference between an acupuncture, massage, Reiki and your Chi treatment?
Answer:
An acupuncture treatment put needles on the meridian points to stimulate the affected areas. In a way we are doing the same things. Instead of needles, I use my fingers and hands to stimulate the meridian points. The plus side of my treatment is that I uses my chi and massage on the patient.
An ordinary massage stimulate the blood circulation. I uses almost the same method as them but in addition I uses chi and acupressure to help my patient.
A Reiki treatment is similar to my treatment in that the Reiki expert will use his chi to hopefully help the patient. In most Reiki books there is no mention of cure but most will say they hope the chi will help in healing the patient. The problem with many similar healings methods are that the healers does not know how to fine tune the patient's chi and in many cases the healer even get sick as a result of absorbing the patient's chi. 
On the whole, my healing is actually incorporating Chi Kung, massage, acupressure, reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine and etc. There are people who pay several thousands of ringgits to learn Reiki and similar healing methods but still does not know how to fine tune the patient's chi. I remember the first time I saw someone do healing in front of me during a mind control course. The healer keep on giving chi to the patient. If the patient's head is already flooded with chi, he would need a toning down. Imagine someone taking Ginseng everyday. Surely that person would be filled with chi to the point of fever, nose bleeding and headache. Is it not ridiculous to pay so much money to get yourself sick without knowing why? Again it is the equilibrium of chi that is most important not the amount of chi!!!! Why must people be so worried about losing chi when chi is everywhere. The problem is not many people know how to make use of it. It is funny how there are even Chi Kung instructors telling students not to give chi to others. 


Chi Kung if practiced on a regular basis under the guidance of a qualified master/instructor can bring you many benefits such as lowering your heart beat, promotes better chi and blood circulations. This should take care of most minor ailments. If you are tired you will naturally sleep better. You will also be able to become stronger when you are able to control and manipulate the chi. At this point you can even become a healer. I am not sure it will reduce your weight. You need to control your consumption of food. When you have reached a certain level perhaps you might not be that interested in food. I do not take much food but never hungry. There are many masters who are not disciplined with their consumption of food and doing daily exercises. Even they might get heart problems. You have to set your priority right.
